Abstract:		 An archaeological evaluation was undertaken at Wheler Road, Coventry (NGR SP 35380 77410). It was undertaken on behalf of CgMs Consulting, acting for Western Power Distribution, who intends to make an extension to the existing substation for which a planning application has been approved. The site had a moderate potential for significant medieval agricultural features and was the location of medieval fish ponds associated with Pinley Manor to the west. The former fish ponds are visible on a variety of maps of the area although slightly different locations are indicated when the maps are compared. One trench was excavated to locate the pond. A dark organic deposit, likely to be the infilled pond, or an associated former field boundary ditch linking a pond to the east with another to the southwest, was discovered in the southern half of the trench. The fill contained very few artefacts and was overlain by a thin layer of what appears to be industrial waste, presumably used as a surfacing material, and re-deposited natural. Although a monolith and a bulk sample were taken, the pond / ditch fill was very sandy, and had very low environmental survival potential. The only finds within the fill were occasional fragments of modern porcelain. There was a deeply buried pit or ditch at the north end of the trench, which contained only later post-medieval debris and may relate to another field boundary. No evidence of medieval settlement was found nor that the features relate to a medieval moat, although a site of medieval date is known from the adjacent property.
